Pandemic Studios announces Mercs Inc, an official announcement of the multiplayer sandbox game based on the Mercenaries franchise revealed earlier through a video on superannuation. The game had been in development at Pandemic Studios, and word is its development continues at the EALA offices, where the remnants of Pandemic landed, prompting them to say this is "the first Pandemic game to be developed by the studio at its new home in Playa Vista." Not much more is being said about the project at this time, and no official release date is set. "We are very excited to announce a new instalment in the popular Mercenaries series because it demonstrates our continued commitment to Pandemic's rich catalogue of intellectual properties," says EA senior VP Nick Earl. "From the studio at EALA, a core creative team is forging new ground and conceptualizing new ideas for this exciting franchise."
